Code Question?

Code Question?

Code Question?

(OP)
Wondering if anyone knows the code that requires a smoke detector above the Fire Alarm Control Panel? I know that we always Spec this but a contractor put this in without letting me know and did not add one. Got turned down and I was just curious about where I can find this? I looked in the NFPA 72 and can't find it. Can anyone help? The building is a Group R-2

RE: Code Question?

In the 2007 edition of NFPA 72, the requirement is found in Section 4.4.5. The same referenced edition would no longer require the detector above the fire alarm control unit in a sprinklered building based on the new exception two.

 

RE: Code Question?

the one pull is nfpa 13 2002 6.8.5.1.2, and for your question it is

4.4.5
